Time Sync on 5406zl

[Kevin-DND]

Spoiler

We have a number of these switches on code K.12.62

I can configure sntp to poll a Windows 2003 DC and sync time.

We have recently acquired more of the same switch and they came with code K14.41

The new switches cannot get time from the 2003 DC.

Is there more config required (or change of command) to get this to work?

Or has HP decided not to allow MS servers to give time to these switches after a certain code release?

I have already noticed that our old command was:

sntp server x.x.x.x

and now is:

sntp server priority 1 x.x.x.x 3

I would like to know if this can still be configured on the new switch code or do I have to downgrade to the version we know that works.

Hi,

suppose that your commands in config related to sntp should be:

timesync sntp

....select the sntp method

sntp unicast

...enable sntp in unicast mode

sntp server < ip-addr >

sntp server priority <1 - 3 >

...set sntp server and priority

show sntp

... you can display info related to sntp and check that sntp is selected as timesync method and not disabled

Additional you may need to configure time zone and changing day-light rule. You can find more info in Management and Configuration Guide K.15.05.
